For all his faults David Stern has really set up a system that gives small-market teams almost as big a chance to compete as big-market ones. With the tight salary-cap rules it really is hard for a team to do well in the free-agent market by spending freely even if they're willing to pay luxury tax. Keep in mind that Boston isn't really that big a market either. I don't think Stern has a conspiracy to get a Lakers/Celtics rematch.

the real scenario is Boston just want to make more money by selling tickets...imagine how much they make in 4 home games... they spent a lot for KG,R.Allen,Pierce...now they need these money to cover for whatever they spent already...

Its strange to hear you talk like this, you ok bud?

He might be right, after all. Boston has disposed so easily of the Hawks in their home games that I cannot believe they lost the 3 played at Atlanta.
